Steve Waszak Posted January 18 Report Posted January 18 Offered here is a powerful signed Shinto wakizashi by Echizen ju Shimosaka. The blade is in excellent polish (keisho, I believe), and presents with many highlights. There are kirikomi in the mune in a few places, perhaps an indication that this sword saw some active combat. Measuring almost 55cm (21.5 inches) in length and 3cm wide at the machi, the blade is approximately 8mm thick at the munemachi. Two NBTHK papers accompany the sword, both affirming the mei as that of Echizen ju Shimosaka. One is an NBTHK Kicho Token paper, while the other is NBTHK Tokubetsu Kicho Token. While the wakizashi comes in shirasaya, there is also a koshirae, complete with tsunagi. The habaki is silver or silver foil. Priced at SOLD, plus shipping. 1 Quote
